I'll defer to Scrivener here as he's the lawyer and I'm not, but I'll take the opportunity of a dialog on some very important semantics here.

If your Mother is the Executor of the Estate, she should (I defer to counsel) be able to dispose of them in that capacity in the manner that Scrivener mentioned in an earlier post (last week) to you (a transfer). Right Scrivener? If this is true, No FFL is needed, just 4 FA-10s properly filled out.

If she has "inherited" them as you wrote above, then indeed Scrivener is right and you must go thru an FFL with the attendant expense (and if they were handguns, you'd lose them outright in most cases).

Not registering transfers is a crime under MGL. Recommending same is a violation of the Forum Rules as well as a dumb thing to do. [Sorry I can't think of a more polite way to say this and still get the meaning across, nothing personal.]
